The UK version of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW returns as presenter Fiona Bruce and the team are back on the trail of the nation’s hidden treasures, visiting more of Britain’s most sumptuous and unusual locations.

Season 36 also introduces a new play-along feature – The Rogues Gallery, where viewers get the chance to see whether they can spot a fake among real treasures.

This episode features a return visit to Edinburgh's Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art for Fiona Bruce and the experts.

Objects brought in for scrutiny include a sketchbook believed to have been made on the journey from England to Australia in 1851 aboard the S.S. Great Britain; a landscape of a valuable maritime scene found in a skip; and a jade Buddhist lion dog that brings good fortune to its owner.
